Poisonous Drinking Water at Paris.

Sir Richard Wallace has done so much
to endow the inhabitants of Paris with
drinking fountains that it seems incredi-
bic that he, of all men, should have been
forced to complain that the water with
which he himself is furnished is utterly
unfit for use. Yet such is the stern
reality. Owing to the drains which run
into the Seine, the water supplied to his
fine park of Bagatell, near Longchamps,
is so pestilential that not only do his
horses refuse to drink it, but his plants
are actually killed by it. while his ten
ants in the Boulevard Wallace, which be-
longs to him, are being driven away by
the fetid odors. Sir Richard Wallace has
accordingly brought an action against
the authorities, laying damages at e20,.

THE LUXURY OF TABLE LINEN
Beautiful Designs in Cloth and Napkins
Wrought Upon Exquisite Fabrics.

Beautiful Designs in Cloth and Napkins
Wrought Upon Exquisite Fabrics.
''All the uptown people have their own
ideas regarding their table linen, said a
well known dealer recently to a reporter.
''Nearly all the foreigIi countries manu-
facture table linen, and there is some
made in this country, but there is a
marked difference between the Scotch
Irish, Dresden, German and French cloths,
which are considered the best grades
The difference is not only in texture, but
in pattern. The French cloth is most
fashionable. 1t differs from the others in
being of much lighter texture and more
elaborate decoration. Almost all the
cloths have large centerpieces.
1.-TWO favorite patterns are the Pom
peiian and the Pois Medina. The center
of the first is filled in with large square
blocks, and the border surrounding it is
of triangles. The second is composed of
medium sized balls and border of larger
balls, around which are twined myrtle
leaves. Another much used pattern is
the Caprice, which has perfectly plain
center and is surrounded by large flowers.
One of the most expensive patterns is the
Hirondelles This linen is beautifully
marked. The border is a design of rocks,
out of which are growing cattails, while
in the center are small swallows. The
birds are exquisitely wrought. The
feathers on their wings are so true to
nature as to stand out in fluffy mass.
The cost of a set of these, including a
tablecloth and a dozen napkins, reaches
800.
''In some instances the linen is embroid-
cred, and this increases the price $14 or
$15. A late craze is for cipher mono
grams, and nearly all the linen sent out
Is embroidered in that way. Some of the
larger families still stick to monograms,
while others of the elder stock insist upon
having their coats of arms embroidered
thereon. The best French tablecloths and
napkins are nearly all woven at Sierre, in
France. The work is done entirely by
hand. The flax from which the linens
are woven comes mostly from the neigh
borhood of Coutrai, in Flanders, where
a fine variety is raised. 1t is so long and
slender as to require support while grow

This Generation and The Last.

There is more philosophy in briet
conversation which was repeated to the
editor of the Courier recently than in
many volume upon hereditary and
inherited tendencies. An old lady was
demonstrating with her niece, IN
under-vitalized nervous invalid, about
her lack of energy, and holding up for
her emulation the awful vigor of her
ancestors.
"Why, your grandmother, the aunt
said. chad baby born in the morn
ing and in the afternoon she went Up
to the attic and brought down her
hax-wheel into the back chamber and
spun a hank of linen.
Il dare say she did, Aunt Louis, -
was the invalid's response; land have
to pay for it. If grandmother had
taken decent care of herself her grand
children might have strength enough
to rise up and call her blessed. As il
is, feel very much more like cursing
her for ill-judged energy boston

Didn't Like Marks Xyay

Speaking of the death of his uncle,
William Gibson, who was one of Marx
Twain's 'Innocents Abroad, a Pitts
burg man says: Uncle said he did no;
like Mark very well; that he was coarse,
and would swear. When my uncle and
his wife were getting photograph taken
by an ancient pyramid, Mark took it on
himself to hire dirty band of Bedouin
Arabs to walk in ON the background Of
the picture. Uncle got angry and drove
Mark and them away. He said he had
often since regretted that he did not leave
them there, as it would have been a very
natural fitting to that kind of picture. -

Board Last Evening.
The slaughter house question came W
again before the board of health last night
About twenty residents of the vicinity Of
Henry aud Crescent streets appeared and
complained of the odors as a nuisance, saying
that no one could live in the vicinity and
retain good health. S. T. Riggs. Seth Crit.
tenden, ]. E. Blair, @. o. Whaples and Others
acted as spokesman for the party and said
that the stencil was horrible and evidently
came from the boiling of bones at the
Andrews factory, and Mr.. Crittenden also
said that dead horses were carted on to Far
nam's farm on Crescent street, and the horses
skinned and the carcasses left to rot above
ground, also that Burns, the garbage man,
dumped the city garbage near the slaughter
and from ploughed field of garbage arose
some of the stencil.
Mr., Andrew said that no fertilizer had
been made at his establishment since
May and on hearing that a stencil
had been smelled during June he
made an investigation and found
it arose from q field p1owed in with garbage
near by. He also stated that he had at
great expense employed men to put IN ma
chinery to do away with what stencil arose
from the boiling of bones, which business
he says is now done in Orange. He also
thinks the trouble comes from hogs kept on
Orchard street and at the county jail, as he
keeps no hogs at his factory, bat kept them
in field a mile away, as ordered by the
board of health.
Colonel J. G. Healey appeared before the
board and stated that nuisance on the lot of
Levi s. Gilbert, on Commerce street, had not
as yet been abated.
Mr.. Barnes, who has charge of the city
garbage, when asked why SO many complaints
were made about the garbage not being coll
lected, stated that he had only four wagons,
and they were not enough to collect the garb-
age at this time Of the year.
